Course Goals: Students will use microscopes, microscopic slides, diagrams, models,
physiological processes and dissection of animal specimens during their study of the
following systems: cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, urinary, digestive, and
reproductive.
Learning Outcomes:
At the completion of this course, the student will be able to satisfactorily:
1. Identify the important anatomical structures in each of the state organ systems
(Critical Thinking);
2. Demonstrate a critical understanding of all-important physiological processes of
the stated systems as well as fluid and electrolyte balance, nutrition, metabolism,
pregnancy, human embryology, fetal development and human genetics (Critical
Thinking);
3. Interpret biomedical related datasets (Empirical and Quantitative);
4. Describe the interrelationships between anatomy and physiology in each of the
organ systems listed (Critical Thinking, Communication);
5. Explain the principle of homeostasis and the primary control mechanisms that
operate in each of the organ systems listed (Critical Thinking and Communication);
6. Perform oral and written communication of biomedical terms relative to the human
body (Communication);
7. Collaboratively work through physiological case studies (Teamwork);
8. Develop independent learning skills such as active learning and problem solving.
Course Evaluation Methods
This course will utilize the following instruments to determine student grades and
proficiency of the learning outcomes for the course.
Exams – Each lecture and laboratory exam will focus on measuring the students
understanding of the physiological processes and anatomical structures of the human
anatomy.
Lecture: Minimum of four major lecture exams will be given during the semester.
Exams will consist of multiple-choice and short answer questions. The exams will
measure the student’s ability to process anatomy and physiology lexicon, identify
the structural similarities and differences, process physiological processes. In
addition relate concepts to clinical application and communicate their thoughts
in written format. The lecture exams count for 30% of your grade.
Laboratory: Minimum of four major practical laboratory exams will be given during
the semester. One laboratory practical will be oral format. The practical
examinations consist of identification of anatomical parts and physiological
functions. Models and animal specimen will be utilized to test your knowledge of
these systems.
The laboratory exams accounts for 30% of your grade.
Learnsmarts
LearnSmart helps students succeed by providing a personalized learning path
that’s based on responses to questions (right or wrong), as well as how confident
they feel about the answers they provide. The program also encourages the
retention of the material by identifying concepts that students are likely to forget,
and directing them back to portions of the e-book to help them solidify concepts.
The Learnsmarts will be due each week and count 10% of your grade.
Exercises – written assignments designed to supplement and reinforce course material
On-line Assignments: will be answering a collection of questions discussing scientific
concepts on the chapter by using composition, labeling, classification,
sequencing, true and false, matching and essay question.
Biopac Laboratory Assignments: Students are engaged in scientific inquiry by
performing in group data collection, analysis and write-ups. The students will
perform exercises targeting circulatory system, respiratory system, muscular
function, brain function, ANS, exercise physiology and neurophysiology. This will
count 10% of your grade.
Projects – web development assignments designed to measure ability to apply presented
course materials.
Case studies/Biological Topic:
Students will collaboratively engage an assigned scientific topic discussed in the
course. The group is expected to written and oral presentation of their case study
to the class on the assigned day. This will count 10% of your grade.
Comprehensive Final Exam is given at the end of each semester. The final exam
accounts for 10% of your grade. The final exam schedule is set by the University.
See attached final exam schedule for exact date.
*Do not schedule any activity during the final exam period (*see above dates).
Critical Thinking, Empirical and Quantitative Core Assessment
Pulmonary Function I BIOPAC assignment will measure the students ability to
observe the experimentally, record and/or calculate selected pulmonary volumes
and capacities. The student will compare the observed values of volume and
capacity with average values. Lastly, the student will compare normal values of
pulmonary volumes and capacities of subjects differing in sex, weight and height.
This assignment will be assessed against the Association of American College and
Universities Empirical and Quantitative rubric.
Teamwork, Oral and Written Communication
Case Study/Scientific Topic Core Assessment will measure the student’s ability to
research, analyze and communicate information for a given case study/scientific
topic. Each student will be assigned to a group to discuss the case study
requirements. Each member of the group will be responsible for a written portion of
the case study and perform a part for the oral presentation. The topics will require
students to research information and compare data. After which, they will
collaboratively assemble an oral presentation using Prezi to be assessed by their
peers and professor. This assignment will be assessed against the Association of
American College and Universities Written and Oral communication rubric,
Teamwork rubric and Peer Evaluation Rubric (Herreid, C.F., 2007).
Example of Case study is “Wake-Up Call” by L.A. Rubin and C.F. Herreid. The case
study requires the students to evaluate a patient’s physiological symptoms and
provide a diagnosis. They will learn physiological lexicon such as LDL/HDL, cardiac
ischemia and angina pectoris. Lastly, the group of students will produce a
brochure and presentation on altering their life styles in relation to smoking,
cholesterol, blood pressure, obesity and diabetes.

that appropriate arrangements may be made. In accordance with federal laws, a student
requesting special accommodations must provide documentation of their disability to the SSD
coordinator.
Academic misconduct (See Student Handbook):
You are expected to practice academic honesty in every aspect of this course and all other
courses. Make sure you are familiar with your Student Handbook, especially the section on
academic misconduct. Students who engage in academic misconduct are subject to university
disciplinary procedures.
Forms of academic dishonesty:
1. Cheating: deception in which a student misrepresents that he/she has mastered
information on an academic exercise that he/she has not mastered; giving or
receiving aid unauthorized by the instructor on assignments or examinations.
2. Academic misconduct: tampering with grades or taking part in obtaining or
distributing any part of a scheduled test.
3. Fabrication: use of invented information or falsified research.
4. Plagiarism: unacknowledged quotation and/or paraphrase of someone else’s words,
ideas, or data as one’s own in work submitted for credit. Failure to identify information
or essays from the Internet and submitting them as one’s own work also constitutes
plagiarism.
Nonacademic misconduct (See Student Handbook)
The university respects the rights of instructors to teach and students to learn. Maintenance of
these rights requires campus conditions that do not impede their exercise. Campus behavior
that interferes with either (1) the instructor’s ability to conduct the class, (2) the inability of other
students to profit from the instructional program, or (3) campus behavior that interferes with the
rights of others will not be tolerated. An individual engaging in such disruptive behavior may be
subject to disciplinary action. Such incidents will be adjudicated by the Dean of Students under
nonacademic procedures.
Sexual misconduct (See Student Handbook):
Sexual harassment of students and employers at Prairie View A&M University is unacceptable
and will not be tolerated. Any member of the university community violating this policy will be
subject to disciplinary action.
Attendance Policy:
Prairie View A&M University requires regular class attendance. Excessive absences will result in
lowered grades. Excessive absenteeism, whether excused or unexcused, may result in a
student’s course grade being reduced or in assignment of a grade of “F”.
accumulated beginning with the first day of class.
Absences are
Absences on Religious Holy Days- In accordance with Texas education Code, section
61.003, subdivision (7), student may be absence from class for the observance of a religious holy
day will be permitted to take missed examinations and complete missed assignments provided
the student has notified the instructor of the planned absence in writing and receipt of
notification has been acknowledged by the instructor in writing.
“A religious holy day means a holy day observed by a religion whose place of worship is exempt
from property taxation under the Texas Tax Code, section 11.20”
Student Academic Appeals Process
Authority and responsibility for assigning grades to students rests with the faculty. However, in
those instances where students believe that miscommunication, errors, or unfairness of any kind
may have adversely affected the instructor's assessment of their academic performance, the
student has a right to appeal by the procedure listed in the Undergraduate Catalog and by
doing so within thirty days of receiving the grade or experiencing any other problematic
academic event that prompted the complaint.
